About this game
Game Overview
You, the player, have somehow lost your human body and been turned into an ‘Ichimatsu doll’. In this action-adventure game, you must explore a traditional Japanese house to find a way to turn back to normal.The general course of action is using hints to hunt down various items that will enhance your abilities.
You mustn’t allow yourself to be spotted by living humans. If you feel you’re about to be seen, you can play dead like an inanimate doll.
Should you be spotted, run away as fast as you can. If you get caught, it's game over.
While you can’t fight against humans directly, some of the items you collect can be used to create poltergeist phenomena that can stun or distract them.
Lovable Characters
Along the way, you'll receive assistance from various objects inhabited by ‘tsukumogami’. They may (or may not) give you game hints.There are plenty of hints to come across, though, so even players who are not good at adventure games can enjoy playing.
Fun Mini-Games for a Relaxing Life as an Ichimatsu Doll
Throughout the game, there are various relaxing activities such as fishing, dancing, racing, and more. You can even ride on top of a robot vacuum cleaner! If you really want to, you can simply forget about getting your human body back and enjoy the easygoing life of an Ichimatsu doll.Hiragana Mode
To allow a wide range of people to enjoy the game, a Hiragana-only option is also available. It is recommended for children, those who are not yet comfortable with Kanji, and those who are just starting to learn Japanese.Background of Development
Originally, Ichimatsu dolls were toys cherished and played with by young girls, and they were thought of as friends. Over time, many people started to think they are creepy or scary. They are commonly used as horror motifs nowadays.We felt there ought to be at least one piece of media that returns to Ichimatsu dolls ‘roots by highlighting their cuter, more playful side, thus leading to the development of this game.
In addition to Ichimatsu dolls, the game is filled to the brim with nostalgic echoes of Japanese customs and culture that have gradually been falling into obscurity.
We recommend the game to anyone who wants immerse themselves in a myriad of uniquely Japanese experiences.
Please enjoy this slightly scary, sometimes bittersweet, and heartwarming adventure.

Update information
Ichima-san version 1.1.2 has been released. The changes are as follows: 【Bug Fixes】Fixed an issue where, if the player used the rocket-propelled pencil and hit an obstacle mid-flight, they would get stuck and be unable to proceed. (Due to this fix, gimmicks such as buckets or lamps that used to fall only when struck by the pencil will now also fall when the player body-checks them.)Fixed an issue where the character’s rope-climbing animation could sometimes move unnaturally, making it less likely to occur.During the final boss battle, shots were being fired when the player released the A button. This has been corrected so that shots are fired when the A button is pressed.【Quality-of-Life Features】Since the L-stick press input could sometimes trigger unintentionally, a new option has been added to the settings menu to enable/disable L-stick press input, and it is now disabled by default.【Difficulty Adjustments】In Stage 1 “Izayoi Manor,” adjustments were made to the layout of the kokeshi dolls, coins, and documents to eliminate misleading elements and make the hints easier to understand.【Typo Fixes】Typos have been corrected.Read full article on Community Announcements (せをはやみ (sewohayami.))Patch NotesOfficial
